Thread: Packers' B.J. Raji stepping away from football

Green Bay Packers free-agent defensive tackle B.J. Raji intends to step away from football for at least the 2016 season, if not permanently.

Raji, the ninth overall pick in 2009, told USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin he informed Packers coach Mike McCarthy of his decision Sunday afternoon. Raji said he’s walking away from a “very, very nice deal” that would have kept him in Green Bay. Raji said he also had interest from multiple other teams

Proof of CTE onset. He decided health was more important than money so he's clearly going crazy.

Wow, doing it on his terms. He'll be missed in Green Bay, for sure.

Probably good for GB that the D line is strong in the draft this year.
